No, just because no

She can't allow herself to return them

She follows some "higher" guidelines

She thinks that holding the paintings will lessen the amount of money, which can be raised by Martha's family for submitting the case to ECHR. She doesn't want the prison to have any contribution to supporting Martha.

She holds the paintings because she can... And what will anybody do about it?

Holding the paintings and giving no explanation is demonstrating her powers

She wants to show her effectiveness in front of the Irish media

Because GARDA in Ireland just does what it wants

Returning of the paintings would harm Mrs Governor's authority

Holding the paintings is a matter of the State weight and is important to Ireland's security

Mrs Governor intends to organize an exhibition of the paintings and present it during planned Open Days (or during the Night of the Museums, if such event is held in Dublin too)

Report is checked, about Martha's paintings being really a forgery of Leonardo da Vinci's works

O thursday, january 18th, unexpected thing happened. Martha called one of her friends, Mariusz, and asked him to bring back the paintings she gave her sister. Martha knew that the paintings were still in Ireland. Her sister didn’t take them for now, because they didn’t fit into the airplane luggage. Mariusz didn’t know, that this situation wasn’t discussed with Martha’s sister, and fulfilled Martha’s request.

What was this all about?
Next visit of Martha’s closest family is coming soon. This time, for the first time, her niece is going to visit her too. Martha is living with this visit. She would very much want to give some presents to her closest. That’s why she attends the school and lessons, to make something for others. All the time prison authorities don’t allow Martha, the only one of the prisoners, to give anything to anybody.

In the conversation with Mrs Governor Martha asked, that she finally be able to give some small items to her closest. Mrs Governor said, that she will not allow it because the family sells those things.When Martha denied that, Mrs Governor asked for a proof. So Martha got an “ingenious” idea, and first thing in the morning she called Mariusz, who was supposed to visit her that day, to bring the paintings.

What is Martha’s sister supposed to do now?
The paintings belong to her. They they left the prison legally. “Passing” of those paintings through prison gate was held even in the light of cameras of TVN and Superwizjer.
Will Martha’s sister recover her belongings?
How much longer will those paintings stay in prison?

This situation taught Martha and her family a lot.
The family asked Martha to not to prepare any gifts for their visit.
The most important thing is that 4 women close to each other will meet together.
Martha’s family is fighting for Martha’s freedom not trifles.
